It will be interesting to see where they plan to use Kellaway 15, 14 or 13?

It suggests a big squad is off to the UK

We get to disagree, I have a sick relatives in Maroubra & Bowral, the tunnel is a god send for me, it makes my travel so much easier

Is Stuart still in the squad? With Donaldson at 10 it may help

They train at Daceyville, with the new tunnels it is 20 minutes from my place in Drummoyne to Maroubra, and that gets better when they are finished You will only need to add another 10 minutes for a load of the lower north shore as well when that tunnel is finished as well

Great win, but.................... It reminded me too much of Tahs wins over the last couple of years, great individual moments, by individuals - not the team But not enough structure yet, the centre pairing struggles to provide threat, the forwards need more cohesion, Cale doesn't have...

So a 20 yro gets to travel and be employed as a pro rugby player in France Despite being in the "world's greatest development program" he is going to play a lot of rugby and, I hope, has a great time

On the decisions

One of the positives from the coaching feedback that I like is the "keep it simple" mantra
